problem / losing indent text lines Inkscape SVG
by stuseven 22 Jul '07

22 Jul '07

After working with Inkscape SVGs for a while, I've discovered another problem... this concerns the difference between (there shouldnt be one, that is) an original SVG with multiple text lines, and the saved version of this. I have an SVG with three lines of text, all produced with the text tool... .....This is line one / indented This is line two This is line three ...but... when I save this SVG, the first line loses the indented spaces LINE One now here This is line two This is line three I am thinking this has to do with all three lines being one object... in other words, Inkscape is just aligning all text to the left extreme, even though this isnt where I placed it. Anybody know how to fix this ? Is it a bug... a setting I havent used... or just normal behavior for multiple lines of text ? thanks -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/problem---losing-indent-text-lines-Inkscape-SVG-tf412… Sent from the Inkscape - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Black box instead of text
by Klas Nordberg 22 Jul '07

22 Jul '07

Hi, I tested to produce a simple SVG image with Inkscape with some text and then uploaded it to Wikipedia. However, in Wikipedia the text box is just a black rectangle with no text. Inkscape version is 0.45.1 The image can be viewed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Test1.svg where also the SVG file can be found. My question: where is the problem (ie black rectangle instead of text)? In Inkscape? In Wikipedia? In my browser (IE 7)? Klas

Monotype Corsiva - Inkscape for Windows
by LRN 21 Jul '07

21 Jul '07

I run OpenOffice 2.1 and Inkscape 0.45 on my Windows XP system. Monotype Corsiva, which is installed on my system, does not show up in Inkscape as it does in OpenOffice Writer. I've enclosed PDFs from each program as examples. Is there some kind of font conversion I need to do before being able to use Monotype Corsiva with Inkscape? Thanks. --- Ravi http://www.nabble.com/file/p11725454/InkscapeCorsiva.pdf.pdf InkscapeCorsiva.pdf.pdf http://www.nabble.com/file/p11725454/OpenOfficeCorsiva.pdf OpenOfficeCorsiva.pdf -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Monotype-Corsiva---Inkscape-for-Windows-tf4122979.htm… Sent from the Inkscape - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

SVG and CSS
by Dan H 21 Jul '07

21 Jul '07

Hello, I have a drawing that is full of rectangles which share common attributes. Inkscape puts a style="..." attribute into each rectangle's tag, but it's the same thing repeated over and over. Is it possible to replace these style attributes with class attributes that refer to some style defined in an (inline) CSS? Essentially like CSS and HTML. I don't mind inserting the CSS manually into the SVG file with a text editor; my question is: Will Inkscape support/honor the CSS, and what's the syntax to put a CSS into an SVG file? Well, I guess I could just go and try it out, but I'd like to know if there is a proper and accepted way to do it. Thanks, --D.

Re: [Inkscape-user] Pasting between documents? (Facundo Casco)
by Tony Vigil 21 Jul '07

21 Jul '07

I didn't know that worked between files opened from the same instance. That's good to know! I'd still prefer copy/paste to work between any file though. - Tony ----- Original Message ---- You can copy/paste between documents now. The trick is to use the same Inkscape instance to open both. Open one document, then, from the menu choose File->Open and open the second one. I can copy paste without problems that way on Win2k. Hope it helps. Facundo

Pasting between documents?
by Tony Vigil 21 Jul '07

21 Jul '07

Bulia, would it be possible to include the ability to copy/paste between two Inkscape docs (open at the same time? Perhaps it could be implemented as a new copy/paste menu item. This would allow us to maintain custom style template files that are used to store styles for use in any Inkscape document. - Tony ----- Original Message ---- On 7/20/07, seth friedman <inq314@...155...> wrote: > *Something like "styles" Its annoying to constantly have to input > different values into the fill and stroke window.

There was some discussion about this recently. Basically we just need a universal list/table/palette widget that would be used for all markers, gradients, patterns, and just any reusable stuff that the user may want to store or share. -- bulia byak

Adobe-SVG breaks Inkscape on debian
by stu seven 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

After producing an SVG in Adobe Illustrator, I took this file and loaded it in my debian system... Inkscape immediately broke... will no longer render simple geometrics... square / ellipse / stars... and the same bug affects several other legacy SVG capable applications. This is very serious, as reinstalling Inkscape does not fix the problem ! I wonder who else might have encountered this... what libraries might need to be replaced to get Inkscape running again ? I do not want to do an entire reinstall of debian to get Inkscape working again, but will of course, without an answer to this problem. This again is apparently, something in the Adobe SVG, which I have read have a lot of additional code in them, beyond basic SVG. This is more than a bug... it is malicious. Hope there is an easy answer. thanks _________________________________________________________________ Local listings, incredible imagery, and driving directions - all in one place!

Vector map editor and feedback
by Aaron Digulla 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

Hello, After a long time, I've come back to have a look at Inkscape again. Some feedback: - Clone is Alt-D on Windows which (in Germany) opens the file (_D_atei) menu. Cloning without the keyboard shortcut is ... clumsy :-) Can you please add a tool to put any menu action into the toolbar? - After working for an hour on my drawing *without saving*, Inkscape crashed (0.45.1). The auto-safe was perfectly usable (after I found it). Well done!! - Is there an extension to draw maps for role playing games? What I would like to see is a palette to select symbols from, a tool to create a legend box (with all symbols and short explanations next to them) and a "stamp" tool to spread clones of the symbols on the "map" and a "fill area" tool for things like forests. The same palette would come in handy when working with clip art libraries. Regards, -- Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla a.k.a. Philmann Dark "It's not the universe that's limited, it's our imagination.
